Dr. J. Jason Wendel

23 Years in Practice

Dr. Jason Wendel is a board-certified plastic surgeon based in Nashville, Tennessee. He specializes in cosmetic plastic surgery and advanced laser procedures, with a focus on breast enhancement, tummy tucks, and nonsurgical treatments like dermal fillers and other injectables. In his 20-year career, Dr. Wendel has earned a reputation for exceptional surgical skill, patient care, and natural-looking results in a safe, welcoming environment. “We focus on your experience just as much as getting great results,” Dr. Wendel explains. He and his staff make sure that each patient who walks through their doors feels comfortable talking about their concerns and desires without fear of judgment. Their goal is to help every patient achieve their goals while prioritizing safety. “Each of us defines beauty differently, has our own goals and a unique view when we look in the mirror. Choosing plastic surgery and aesthetic treatment is personal,” he says. “It takes courage to be vulnerable, to speak our insecurities out loud. Our job is not to judge or pressure you into fitting into a mold or stereotype. What you can do is live a more confident, happier life, and we will try our very best to help you achieve that,” he explains. “You’re beautiful, whether you’re coming in for a consultation or leaving after your last post-op appointment. We welcome every body with open arms and love you just as you are, always and all ways.” Dr. Wendel was drawn to plastic surgery not only by the 3-dimensional creativity it requires, but by the opportunity “to impact people's lives in a meaningful way to boost their spirit, so that they may feel better about themselves. What I love most is making a difference in the quality of a person's life.” After graduating with high honors from Wabash College in Indiana, Dr. Wendel earned his medical degree from the Indiana University School of Medicine. He then went on to complete his general surgery residency at the University of South Florida, and attended the University of Michigan for his plastic surgery fellowship. Dr. Wendel is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He is a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. He’s also a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. A highly respected surgeon, Dr. Wendel has been the recipient of many awards and accolades, including the RealSelf 100 & 500 Hall of Fame, a Castle Connolly Top Doctor, and a Top Doctor in Nashville Lifestyles magazine. He was also named Best Cosmetic Surgeon in The Tennessean’s TOAST Readers’ Choice Awards in 2016 and 2017. Dr. Wendel’s work has been cited in numerous scientific journals and presented at surgical conferences around the country.
